Ian9:52 amI For these numbers, these are considered service numbers they are charged at special rates. For the hands free calling feature for Google Home in the UK these numbers will not go thru.For calls as long as the numbers are personal contacts and business numbers (shops and establishments) they will be for free.

Update:Just so you know guys. Don't warm yourself with this comment. It's kinda boring now getting same replies about tin foil. At least be original!

Just tried it.. it's a bit clunky but it works, good spot. Weird that I've not heard about this from Google...

I believe this is the hands free call and not free calls. This is the ability to make phone calls by simply asking Google Home.

So, You can call people 24hrs everyday for years and they'll be no charge?

Google Home records:Voice commands after “Ok Google” or “Hey Google”. For example, this would be recorded: “Hey Google, call Bob” or “Ok Google, hang up.” The recording stops after that phrase. Google Home doesn't record:

GCHQ and it’s partners thank you for making your call with them.I know, y …GCHQ and it’s partners thank you for making your call with them.I know, your call was just to tell your mum there’s another washload that needs picking up, but it’s still freaky the blanket surveillance that’s imposed on us.Couple that with the new Internet censorship laws from the EU [https://www.globalresearch.ca/european-union-demands-google-facebook-step-up-internet-censorship/5631017] and technology is becoming less and less a tool for the people.

Sorry we had to cut you out right there but we didn't quite look where this was going

All our calls are recorded, monitored and so on, since years. I recommend you to read "ghost in the wires" by Kevin Mitnick. You will see how did it work back in the 90s. If you believe Google is a threat I bet you will be surprised because it seems you haven't known about it.

If you want to stay private you can use the internet but you must be an ace hacker.

Where's the setting in the app? There's so many options and sub-options in there I don't even know where to start!

Ask Google to Call X and it will go through a quick intro and start calling. You'll then be prompted in the Google Home app to apply settings that will allow you to set up your number so the receiving end knows who is calling.

Thanks Google now all we need is:bi-directional bluetooth for the mini (better still audio out so you can smart enable dumb but better speakers)shopping list - use google keep like you use to rather than the awful web app a 3 year old threw togetherDeezer integration ( Other countries have it).....

Voip calls use a small amount of your monthly data useage if you are on restricted data. Voip as a defined RFC protocol can potentially can be sniffed as can any other type of compliant Voip. This version doesn't support end to end encryption so can't be regarded as secure anyway

Am I right in thinking that the other person does not need a google app on their mobile?

It's hilarious that you seem to think this is suddenly only possible with VOIP and wouldn't be happening already with the mobile phone you use to make your calls now!
